The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED) project posted on 12 January 2024 an analysis titled "Sudan: The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Gains Ground in Sudan."
This analysis documents the current military situation in Sudan. The paramilitary RSF has gained the upper hand over the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in the ongoing civil war. While the SAF still controls more state capitals, the RSF capture of Wad Madani, Sudan's second largest city, and Al Jazirah State south of Khartoum resulted in panic in other SAF-controlled states.
